Weighed Down

Our Deepest Fear
by Marianne Williamson

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

This photo is from FHE when David was weighed down by things hard to carry, ie wooden basket full of magazines(vain materialism) bag of garbage(imagined injustice) vacuum cleaner (anger)bag of books(revenge) hat over eyes(prideful indiferance) etc. etc.

I want to start keeping my quotes from"What I think About Sometimes.." so I am putting them here.

Old friends

We attended a surprise 50th Bithday Party for an old friend, Denise Gee. Keith was her hometeacher 28 years ago in the Byu ward we attended when we got engaged.

V, Keith, Cathy Verdoon Cambell., Denise Daniels Gee, Veronica West Darrimon.

We had exchanged a few christmas cards since then, but not much else. By chance Denise and Diana discovered the old connection. Denise's sister lives in our ward here in Gilbert, her name is Diana Hatch.

What a bunch of good people and friends.

Old Times

Last night we went to a get together of the families that went on the Handcart Trek



Taylor asked, "How come we have to sit together as families?"-- how soon they forget.

Summer

This feels like my first day of Summer vacation! A little sleep, a movie on dvd, breakfast at 10:00 (am or pm) and little that has to be done today, yup it must be summer. Maybe I will go jump in the pool, it is 112 degrees after all.

Okay, so, Mom needs stuff from Costco and another presription filled. David needs a ride for him he and his friends to the Jazz band party at Amazing Jakes, (plus 30 dollars that I don't have), dirty dishes are piled high in the sink, my front pots are dying and copies need to be made for the RS meeting tomorrow, that package needs to be mailed, Rae is leaving for Utah, Danny is sleeping still somewhere else, Keith is gone - I don't know where, my bed isn't made and my hair is a mess, a few of the things bugging me so I am not quite relaxed .

-guess I'll blog instead.

My Sister's B-day

Happy Birthday to my Sister Connie Jones Earl!

It was yesterday actually.
By the time I got these pictures figured out , I posted them a day late.

Okay, so these were taken a few years ago, her hair is shorter now.

I am liking this kind of blogging --no words, only pictures. At a thousand words each, I am a pro.
